Books required

[DN22 Gardening]

Hi all,

 

Thinking about booking myself on the Lantra Proffesional tree inpectors course.

 

Before i go getting a second mortgage to buy the course books i thought i might ask on here, see if anyones got any no longer needed

 

list as follows:

 

Lonsdale, D. (1999). Principles of Tree Hazard and management, Research for Amenity Trees No 7, Stationery Office, London

Mattheck, C 7 Breloer, H. (1994). The Body Language of Trees, Research for Amenity Trees No 4, Stationery Office, London

Strouts, R.G & Winter, T.G (1994). Diagnosis of Ill Health in Trees, Research for Amenity Trees No 2, Stationery Office, London.

Davis, C., Fay, N & Maynors, C. (2000). Veteran Trees: a guide to risk and responsibility. Englisg Nature, Peterborough.

Shigo, A.L (1991). Modern Aboriculture. Shigo & Tree Associates, Durham, NH, USA

Weber, K., & Mattheck, C. (2003). Manual of Wood Decay in Trees, The Arboriculural Association

Recommendations for Tree Work. BS 3998. (1989 with 1990 amendment) British Standards Institute, London.

 

Obviously, i don't expect the books FOC, and am more than happy to pay any postage.

 

All help greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks, Dave

It's a small part of your reading list Dave, but if you get a library card you should be able to access BS catalogue online via library reference section. You can view & download (purely for reference) but can't print without as password (there are ways around that but it breaches copyright)

No but deceased tree mens relatives would probably skip them as boring old books!

[MATTMOSS]

Would the relatives of deceased tree men be on arbtalk?

Can I ask why the bs recommendations for tree work is twenty years out of date?

Lots of stuff is in this industry, we still do according to ancient specifications. It aggravates me sometimes. I did a job "Under a consultant" He was victorian era!

 

Just my experience, despite many on the tools wanting to embrace new ideas, techniques etc. Those that 'Manage read from old manuals and books'

 

Councils are special at this.

I'm afraid that I'm not selling any of my books, but I did get a few good deals with Books on botany from Summerfield Books. Worth a look! Good luck
